           Decision


           Matter of: ARINC Engineering Services, LLC

           File:       B-405731.3

           Date:       March 28, 2012

           Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., Timothy Sullivan, Esq., and Scott F. Lane, Esq.,
           Thompson Coburn LLP, for the protester.
           Andrew Sinn, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
           Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Protest was not clearly meritorious, and reimbursement of protest costs following
           agency corrective action therefore is not warranted, where additional record
           development and substantial further analysis would have been required to resolve
           protest.
           DECISION

           ARINC Engineering Services, LLC requests that we recommend that it be
           reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing its protest challenging the General
           Services Administration's (GSA) issuance of a task order to General Dynamics One
           Source, LLC (GDOS), under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 4QDA57110003, for
           information technology support services at the Joint Air Defense Operations Center
           at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, DC.

           We deny the request.

           The RFQ provided for the issuance, on a best value basis, of a performance-
           based, time and materials task order for various core and optional support activities
           at the Joint Air Defense Operations Center. Proposals were to be evaluated under
           five factors: capability to perform, management approach, staffing plan, past
           performance, and price. Both ARINC's and GDOS's proposals received overall
           non-price ratings of significant confidence, and the task order was issued to GDOS
           based on its lower price.
